Crumb

Sweet little Crumb found himself in an overcrowded shelter with his sister, Crouton. They came from a "home" that we were told was neglectful, and there were many, many dogs there who were pretty much on their own running free in the neighborhood. <br/><br/>Crumb is estimated at about 2-3 years old, weighs 11 lbs, and is very sweet and loves to snuggle! <br/><br/>However, he is a complicated little guy! At first we wanted to keep Crumb and Crouton together because they definitely love each other and have been together all their lives. But as time went on we learned that they do occasionally show some negative behaviors when together. Crumb can be very protective of Crouton, and anyone other than their foster mom started to be seen as a threat that he felt he had to take care of! When together in public, they also don't want any other dogs to come near. However, at home with foster doggy siblings they were fine. <br/><br/>So, we are currently doing an experiment, a trial separation, to see if they can be happy apart. They are adjusting well, especially Crouton who has 2 other dogs in her foster home, while Crumb is in a home with no other dogs. <br/><br/>We feel that a compatible dog sibling could be all Crumb needs to give him a fun playmate and make him happy!<br/><br/>Because he is a small boy, if there are kids in the home they must be old enough to respect him. We are aware that Crumb has had a negative experience with young children chasing after him with sticks, and he understandably did not react well to that! But, all we have seen at our events is that he has been fine with kind children who are gentle with him. We would like to keep it that way, and honestly Crumb looks like an adorable little stuffed animals so we need to be sure any kids in the home can understand that he is not! ;)<br/><br/>We think that the absolute perfect home for Crumb would be a single woman without kids, a small to medium, friendly and playful dog, and a fenced yard to run around in!

They truly are adorable together, but the issues that occasionally arise are not something most adopters would want to have to deal with. For the two, a single woman with no kids, no other pets could be ideal!
